Abstract

A significant amount of research has addressed the issue of energy consumption reduction and the use of natural ventilation. Nevertheless, fewer studies have discussed the use of vernacular solutions and their integration with modern architecture on a global scale. Therefore, the primary motivation of this article is to answer the question of how combining indigenous techniques for natural ventilation with characteristics of flexible design can be reflected in reducing energy consumption in residential buildings Since natural ventilation is one of the most effective factors in creating thermal comfort and this factor creates comfortable conditions in hot and humid climates by taking advantage of airflow, reducing relative humidity, and increasing surface evaporation, this article examines the Shavadoon, which is an indigenous technique to escape from the excruciating heat of summer in Iran, and, by integrating it with modern architecture in Northern Cyprus, it seeks its effects on cooling the building and reducing energy consumption. The details of local solutions, natural ventilation, flexible design, and modern architecture will be extracted from the literature. Subsequently, via case study and, eventually, using the knowledge of BIM, the effect of their integration in reducing energy consumption will be investigated. Finally, new solutions for future architects in line with the construction of energy-efficient residential buildings will be provided.
